On and off the stage, everyone froze into a still picture.
The one who broke this picture was Cai Lin. He reached out and touched his left cheek where the arrow had just grazed past and there was a little red blood stain.
Everyone was stunned.
Shen Miao actually dared to shoot. She did not stop the arrow midway and also did not deliberately shoot to the side. She was neither near nor far from the Cao Guo Zi, but it just brushed past Cai Lin's cheek.
Cai Lin shouted loudly, "Shen Miao, what are you doing!" Before he finished speaking, the second arrow had already swept over with a strong gust of wind. It brushed past his right cheek, and Cai Lin immediately felt a burning pain on his right cheek. He reached out to touch it, and to his surprise, he discovered that it was a smear of blood.
He was almost going crazy. Staring at Shen Miao in disbelief, Cai Daren also wanted to stop but Prince Yu of the First Rank was still sitting in front and he dared not move.
Ren Wan Yun suddenly stood up, "Is Fifth Lady crazy? How dare she really injure the Young Master of the Cai family? "
"Your residence's Fifth Young Lady is really powerful." Yi Furen pretended to be surprised, "How would an ordinary female have such courage? To injure the Young Master of the Cai family, in the future would not both Masters have a few more colleagues in court who do not have good relations with each other? "
These words were said in Ren Wan Yun's and Chen Rou Qiu's hearts. Previously they only thought that Shen Miao would make a fool of herself but who knew that not only did Shen Miao not make a fool of herself, she even injured Cai Lin. If the Cai family were to denounce the Shen residence because of this, the Cai family would walk the path of civil officials and offend the Cai family. How would Shen Gui and Shen Wan, the two brothers, end up well? Thinking of this, Ren Wan Yun was extremely anxious and could not wait to bring Shen Miao to the Cai family to apologise. Just as she was about to shout out to stop Shen Miao's actions, Chen Rou Qiu held her hands down.
"Younger Sister, what are you doing?" Ren Wan Yun said unhappily, "Are you going to watch Fifth Lady get into trouble? Later when Master asks, who would be able to shoulder this responsibility? "
Chen Rou Qiu simply wanted to worship this Second Sister-in-law. She was born more noble than Ren Wan Yun and boasted that she was from a scholarly family. She was most disdainful of such worldly actions and naturally looked down on Ren Wan Yun's idea of not being able to enter the elegant hall. She said, "Second Sao's thinking is not wrong but just now one also heard that even Prince Yu of the First Rank also spoke. Otherwise why do you think Master Cai did not speak up till now and only watch his own son get injured? Even if Second Sister-in-law spoke, could she make the decision here? It's better to wait and see. If he asks, just treat it as a child's play. "
"Don't tell me we're just going to watch?" Ren Wan Yun knew that what Chen Rou Qiu said was reasonable but she could not help but worry, "What if Fifth Lady does not know the severity of her actions and cause a big disaster? The life and death contract is one thing but the rumours in the Ding capital is another. "
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see Fifth Lady's attack just now?" Chen Rou Qiu smiled, "She obviously knows how to draw the bow and is just deliberately giving the Cai family's brat face. This is a deliberate revenge. But she should also know how to act properly otherwise it would not be as simple as a scratch on the cheek. " Chen Rou Qiu sighed, "After all one has offended others. Since that is the case then let nature take its course. If Fifth Lady were to really be ruthless in her actions, one fear that in the future she would have to bear the reputation of being cruel and vicious."
Every single word of their sister-in-law's words fell into the ears of the two sisters, Shen Qing and Shen Yue. They were still young and did not understand the matters of the officialdom thus they only heard the last sentence. Shen Yue looked at Shen Miao who was wearing a long gown with wide sleeves. Today she was calm and composed and was in the limelight which was really annoying. She thought that it would be good if Shen Miao really shot Cai Lin to death. Then Shen Miao would be carrying a human life. Such a vicious person, who would dare to marry in the future and who would dare to get close to her?
Now this kind of scratch was only powerful and not vicious.
The more she thought about it, the more sparkling things flashed in Shen Yue's eyes. The safety of Cai Lin who wholeheartedly wanted to make things difficult for Shen Miao had long been thrown to the back of her mind and even hoped that Cai Lin would use his own life to fulfill Shen Miao's notoriety.
Even though the people below the stage were discussing, they did not dare to make a sound because of Prince Yu's face. Even the Cai family's husband and wife were burning with anxiety and could only watch their son standing on the stage to become an arrow target.
"Shen Miao, what exactly do you want?" Even two arrows had grazed his cheeks and his entire face was burning with pain. Other than anger towards Shen Miao, Cai Lin also had a trace of fear. He suddenly discovered that there was nothing that Shen Miao did not dare to do. She was clearly a lunatic and dared to do anything!
Separated by some distance, Shen Miao's voice was a little vague and could not be transmitted to the people below the stage but it could be transmitted to Cai Lin's ears. Her voice was light as if it came from the clouds, making one not dare to look up.
She said, "To teach you a lesson."
Shen Miao suddenly raised her voice, "There is still one last arrow!"
Everyone in the audience stared at that arrow. Cai Lin's legs were about to go soft and he pinched himself hard so that he would not go soft. Because he saw that Shen Miao's arrow was aimed at his head.
He was very afraid. It was a kind of fearless fear towards the Shen family. This kind of fear was so strong that it captured all of his attention at this moment. He wanted to escape from this academy examination stage but Shen Miao's arrow was aimed at him, as if she could chase him to the ends of the earth.
"The Young Lady of the Shen family is just too strong." Even though the Daren at the male side of the banquet admired Shen Miao's calmness, they also felt sorry for her performance at the moment. One had to know that it was not a good thing for a female to be too strong. She was now biting Cai Lin and not letting go, it was nothing more than to retaliate against Cai Lin's provocation. But Cai Lin did not cause any harm to her, but Shen Miao had scratched Cai Lin's face. Even though males were not more delicate than males and it was not a big deal to leave a scar, but to leave it on the face … At the end it would not look good.
"This is like General Shen's daughter." There were also some who applauded Shen Miao, "If one only knew to be bullied and did not fight back, General Shen would be so angry that he would be in a complete mess if he knew about it."
"But you see now that the arrow is aimed at Cai Lin's head. This is the intention to take Cai Lin's life. This is too vicious."
Cai Lin's legs kept trembling and he looked at the purple clad young female in the distance as if he was looking at an evil spirit. Her appearance was gentle and beautiful, her eyes were clear and even had a bit of innocence. But there was no hesitation in the movements of her hands.
Shen Miao softly said, "The third arrow."
As soon as he loosened his grip, an arrow shot out from the bow. A sharp killing intent rushed towards Cai Lin's forehead, scaring him so much that he knelt down with a "plop" and let out a blood-curdling scream, "Help!"
"Lin-er!" Cai Furen and Cai Daren exclaimed at the same time.
The entire audience stood up and stretched their necks to look at the situation on the stage.
Cai Lin collapsed on the ground, and the round fruit on the ground had been pierced through by the black arrow, completely pierced through.
